Listening to Nas Magic II

saveme hot take incoming...

janelle monae is kinda overrated. i'm not saying she isn't talented before u prince freaks start telling me all of the instruments and s*** she plays, that's not what i'm saying.

archandroid is a good album, not entirely sure if i would consider it a classic though. like electric lady a lot more, dirty computer is aight as well..

i dunno what it is about her but her music does not resonate with me. that's all i got

my fav JM joint, and it has nothing to do with her

And it still lost in the VZ.

“Prince freaks” -- I feel attacked!

just playful banter

Only cause it was against Cranes

True.

so today im gonna listen to nothing but janelle monae and see if perhaps my opinion will change

Oh, I’m aware. No worries.

Let me hope for the best.

I need her to make the sci-fi stuff again

oh yeh, her newest album wasn't that bad.. i liked a few joints off of that. funny how the OG fans disliked it so much, wonder why

having heard from HER in a while

are the labels done shilling her

Electric Lady is better than ArchAndroid to me but I know ArchAndroid is her most praised album

I don’t know why some of her fans dislike it either -- it’s fun, breezy, and perfect for summer playlists.

i remember when people were hyping her up off of this metropolis ep.. s*** was just so weird to me lol

Viewed as selling out/dumbing it down

the song with prince isn't available to stream

I don’t know why, tbh.

The Estate has already released all his music on streaming, except for side projects, anyhow.

Well, TIDAL is an exception, but you know what I mean.
